Belle Couture to Visit Pierro

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday, 2 September 2014

As the countdown progresses towards Black Caviar becoming a mum for the first time, Love Racing, the majority shareholder in her minor winning half-sister Belle Couture have confirmed that she will be bred to Coolmore’s Golden Slipper winner Pierro in coming weeks.

"We could have carried on with her, but she's so valuable as a breeding prospect that the time is right to call it a day and embark on the next stage,” Love Racing principal Donna Love said.

"She is now owned by a small group of the original owners, and we are all very excited at what the future holds for Belle Couture."

Belle CoutureBelle Couture was the Inglis Easter sale-topper in 2012 when bought by BC3 Thoroughbreds for $2.6 million.

The daughter of Redoute’s Choice was given to Danny O’Brien to train but could win just one race, a maiden event over 1200 metres at Caulfield, from just four starts.

Belle Couture will, like the remainder of Love Racing's mares, reside at Newgate Farm in the Hunter Valley, joining stakes winners Assail, Esprit de Bleu and Real Stolle.

Assail and Real Stolle recently produced their first foals, a Pierro colt for Assail and an Exceed and Excel filly for Real Stolle, while Esprit de Bleu is due shortly to Smart Missile.

"Donna and Rob are building a lovely portfolio of mares, and Belle Couture is a tremendously exciting addition to the breeding ranks,” Love Racing's Bloodstock Manager James Harron said.

"With Shamal Wind also representing Love Racing on the track at a high level, these are exciting times."

Stud Open days, great suite accommodation in the middle of it all.

Interesting they have gone to Pierro... Wouldn't it be logical to go to Bel Esprit and get pretty much a 3/4 relation to Black Caviar?

I know Bel Esprit probably isn't a headline stallion at the sales but he stills sells well enough, especially when people know how closely related it will be to the champ.

For those that don't know Black Caviars going to Sebring next season.

Good mating! Flying Spur close up in Sebring's pedigree and he's proven too work well in the family (All Too Hard, Magnus)

Will win anywhere on the planet from 1200 - 4000m, wet or dry. If it's a colt, only NASA will be able to afford it. It will also then become the director of their space programme.
